The trio was on their third day after the anniversary staying at Luna's house with Molly and David, when Dean got wind of a possible case close by. He had sprung it on Luna just as she walked in the door from getting groceries. The Sunday paper had several obituaries in it that seemed out of the ordinary. All men. All leaving behind just a mother. And all seemed to have unfortunate deaths. One thirty-seven year old man leaned back too far on a ladder. One fifty-three year old man sustained injuries from a snow blower that led to death. And one twenty two year old college student was killed in a fire that started from an overheated gaming system. Three all very interesting deaths, but besides them being male, and being single, they had nothing in common.
"Are you sure this is a case Dean?" Luna asked while putting away the groceries. She kind of wanted to stay here a little longer, just taking a break from the constant life of a hunter.
"Yeah. When are there ever just coincidences Luna?" Dean responded. He had a point. "And where's Sam? I thought he went with you?"
"He's outside with David. In the back I think. Sam told him he'd show him the trunk of the impala," Luna disclosed. She secretly loved the way that Sam and Dean were bonding with David these past few days. David had taken the news of his father quite well, Luna figured. He had long talk with his mother the next day, and seemed fine, or rather, accepting, of everything he was told. The few "family" dinners were fun, as Luna could tell that Molly was smitten for Dean.
Dean's phone rang and he answered it. "Hi Cas, what's up? ...Where are we? Shouldn't you be able to find us? … We're at Luna's house, yeah…" Dean walked out of the kitchen.
Luna glanced at the clock on the wall. Her mother had always started cooking dinner at six o'clock no matter what was going on or how hungry they all were. The clock fell around thirty minutes short of when she was to start making dinner. Luna walked out of the kitchen, through the living room and out through the sliding glass doors to the backyard.
The backyard wasn't huge, but it wasn't small either. It was a wide backyard that had soft, velvety, green grass in the summer time. She looked down at the grass and noticed that it was tan and crunchy from the brutal fall weather. The wind swept up from the foamy sea. Her backyard was naturally fenced in with trees on both sides and a sandy drop off to the back.
Sam and David were throwing a football back and forth. They both were sporting hoodies and jeans. Luna on the other hand was bundled up in a winter jacket, mittens, scarf and a hat. She was still cold.
"Hey Luna, wanna play?" David asked. It had been quite a while since she had thrown around a football. She wasn't good back then either. Her playing football reminded herself of The Brady Bunch episode when Marsha got hit in the nose with the football. That would happen to her.
"Not right now David, that would be a very bad idea," Luna laughed thinking about everything that could happen if she were to try to throw a football. She watched them throw it back and forth for a little bit and then Dean came outside.
"Luna, Cas can't find us. He said we aren't even on the grid right now," Dean explained.
"My mom and dad built this house. There are iron fences in the front of the house and there are underground iron rods fencing the house in, the bushes are certain rare herbs arranged in different symbols to keep the house hidden from demons. I never realized it was hidden from angels too," Luna explained. She had improved some of her parents' methods and had salt infused paint to paint the house with and under every rug was a devil's trap. She hadn't known any angel sigils to keep them away.
"Cas told me that the demons know about you now too," Dean informed Luna. The time that she had to reach her full potential was growing shorter. She was going to have to do it soon.
"Have you told Bobby yet?" She asked Dean. If the demons found out that she was topside, the first place that they would go would be his house.
"Yeah I called him after I found out. Luna, you do realize what this means right?" Dean looked at her seriously. She knew. "Do you want me to tell Sam or do you want to?"
"I will."
"Really?" Dean asked doubting that she was going to tell him.
"Yes. I will tell him tonight. We will leave tomorrow for the new job. I have to go make dinner," Luna said. She left Dean outside with the other two boys. She went into the kitchen and started cooking dinner. She turned on the radio to listen to music while she prepared dinner. Molly walked in as Luna was washing a head of broccoli.
"Molly," Luna started to say as Molly put down her stuff on the table.
"Yeah Lena?" Molly responded without looking in Luna's direction. She unwound her scarf from around her neck.
"I have to get intimate with Sam so I can gain more power as the Sol. What do I do?" Luna asked her. She knew that Molly had many more partners than she would probably ever know.
"Are you asking me for sex advice? Why don't you just read Cosmo? I'm sure you're not that bad. A bad experience or two is normal," Molly reasoned not seeing Luna's face. She turned around, and saw the childlike innocence in her eyes. Luna's naivety was blatant. "You've never had sex before have you?"
Luna shook her head no. She was getting better at accepting her fate. She was more ready to give up her V-card now than she ever felt before. "I want to with Sam. How do I know that the moment is right though?"
"I can't tell you other than when you know, you just know. Something in your mind or your heart clicks into place. You get this feeling of desire. This feeling that you love this person so much that you want to make them happy, you would want to give anything up for them. You just want to have a special moment with them to share for the rest of your lives," Molly explained it to her. She never had a first time because of the demon, but the time after that, she felt like this. "Do you trust Sam?"
"Yes," Luna started to reply.
"That is the most important part out of all of this. Let him take control and help him set the pace but don't get too scared if he strays from what you want him to do. It might hurt, it may not hurt. It depends on the person. Just know that if it hurts, it's not his fault, he just has to go easy with you," Molly explained to her friend. They heard the sliding glass doors and all three guys came inside. Their faces were bright red from the wind whipping at them. David went to the fridge and grabbed a few water bottles, one for himself and the others for Sam and Dean. Luna and Molly stopped their conversation. Molly went on to talk to David about school and Luna went back to cooking dinner.
The dysfunctional family group ate chicken and rice and veggies; a healthy meal but tasty, according to Dean. Luna broke the news to Molly and David that she and the Winchesters would be leaving tomorrow to go on a new hunt. The two were used to having Luna come and go as she pleased. David seemed a little more upset this time than any others. Luna believed that it was because Sam and Dean were taking interest in David. He hadn't had a real father figure at any point in his life. Molly couldn't keep any man around for long. They would always ask about the little habits that she did because of hunting. She couldn't tell them, or if she did they always ran. The guys cleaned up from dinner while Luna and Molly went out for the night to catch up on 'some stuff.' Or so they said.
Luna and Molly went to one of the towns smaller bars. It was an upscale bar where most business men went after work. The bar was of modern design and was relatively dead. The two girls chose a private table away from most of the people at the bar.
"Have you told Sam that you want him to be your first?" Molly asked Luna as the two ladies sipped on the bar's specialties. Luna had opted for a fruity tangy martini, while Molly had gone with a chocolate one.
"Not exactly. He knows that I haven't done it before, and I think that he assumes that he's going to be my first but I haven't told him outright. Should I?"
"Yes. You need to tell him that you want him to be your first and you also need to tell him that you are ready. Have you done anything with him?" Molly asked concerned for her friend. If she hadn't done anything with him up to this point, it would probably have been a few months before they had sex if not for the looming apocalypse.
"Uh, well we made out and stuff," Luna offered up, leaving out the specific details.
"What do you mean by and stuff?" Molly interrogated.
"Well, he was kind of handsy sometimes, but he never went farther than I wanted him to go. I did give him a boner once though," Luna revealed. Molly shook her head. Her friend was not ready for this; at least not in the next few weeks.
"Luna, have you ever seen one another naked?"
"Um, I think he saw me, but only my top half, because I fell in a lake camping and my clothes got wet. It was cold so I had to take them off and I was in a sleeping bag, but it was still cold so Sam slept in the sleeping bag with me, and at one point he was on top of me and he could have seen me then," Luna explained all in rush.
"Lena, please tell me that you have least seen a boy naked before," Molly pleaded.
"Yeah, of course I have. I was a nurse at one point in my life. I had to change people. And I did have a romantic encounter in college at one point. I did more stuff with that guy than I have with Sam, but we never rounded all the bases," Luna finally admitted. Molly sighed with relief.
"Lena, do you think you're ready for this?" Molly asked. She wasn't sure that she was, but Luna would do it anyway to save them. Luna pondered for a moment.
"Right now I can't say for sure. I know that I trust Sam with my life, and honestly, it scares me so much to say this, but I love him."
Luna and Molly sat at the bar for a few more hours before deciding to call it a night and return to the house.
Luna and Sam decided to retire to bed a little early tonight so that they would be well rested for their hunt tomorrow. As they were changing into pajamas, flannel pants and one of Sam's hoodies for Luna, and boxers and a t-shirt for Sam, Luna brought up what she had promised Dean she would.
"Sam," Luna said trying to figure out how she was going to address the situation.
"Luna," Sam said back trying to be funny. He pulled back the covers and sat down on the bed. Luna still stood on her side of the bed. "What's wrong?"
"Dean told me that the demons know about my existence now," she explained to him.
"Yeah he told me too." He had a feeling where this conversation was going.
"Sam, I trust you, you know that, and I've been thinking a lot lately. I've been thinking how I feel when I'm around you, and how I've never felt that way before. When I say this, it's because I truly mean it. Sam," she took a deep breath. Once this escaped her lips there was no going back. She couldn't change her mind five minutes later, not that she would anyway but still, "I love you."
It took Sam a moment to fully register what had just happened; but his senses kicked in and he returned the confession with one of his own, "I love you too Luna."
Luna's heart exploded right then and there. She wanted nothing more to make Sam happy. She hugged him tightly. She never wanted to let him go. Luna wanted to protect him. She would give anything to keep him safe. Maybe this is what Molly meant, she thought to herself.
"Sam," she looked up at him with wide eyes, which for a hunter, held so much childlike wonder. She looked at everything differently than everyone else. Sam moved his hand to cup her face and caressed her smooth cheek with his thumb. "I want you to be my first."
At first Sam was surprised by her bold statement, but he was not going to argue with it. He loved her, he wanted to be her first and he wanted to make it the most special thing that either one of them had ever experienced.
"Just tell me when and I'll be there."
